Anyone an idea how many have got jobs in Galway and Mayo thus far?
I wonder will it be a year or more before the next batch is called?

Thanks

Last I heard around 10 in Mayo so far.

A single person's yearly tax credit is 3300 which equates to a weekly credit of 63.46. Taking a gross salary of 451 you are liable to pay 20% tax on that minus any pension deductions. So take your pension deduction would be around 15 then you are left with 436 for tax purposes. Divide that by 5 which is 20% and you get 87.20. Minus your tax credit of 63.46 then this leaves you paying approx. 23.74 tax per week.

Great help! Thank you

Oh thanks a mill SB, I was panicking there for a minute! I am going to call PAS Friday morning if I dont hear any update on the Cork positions before then, I will keep you all posted!

Oh I’m so sorry I meant 2.1, I’m number 40 in batch 2.1. I totally understand your frustration its such a long wait. I think i’ll go ahead and book holidays anyway, if its booked before we get word on the job I’m sure there wont be any issues getting the time off.

Hi,

I'm all confused, how do you know what number they are on? It's batch 2 they are on in cork?

I'm 13th on Galway B1 panel. Last time I checked about 3 weeks ago I was told there was 6 ahead of me.

Thank you, at least thats something, I'm in the 70s, the waiting is painful, what number range are you in?

I'm Batch 2 on Kerry panel, haven't heard a thing back. The waiting game is horrible isn't it!

Hi DM26, Have you had your interview for Kerry? I'm in batch 2 also and still awaiting interview , do you mind me asking what number are you roughly, top 5,top10 etc? The waiting is desperate.

Hi there

I had the interview in Dublin, I'm early 20s on Batch 2 of the Kerry panel. I contacted PAS today and got told that they're very slow going through the process for Kerry in particular as there are some gaps... I presume it won't be speeding up anytime soon either 😭

Did you have your interview yet?

Clairebear12

Hi
Ok so I'm totally confused now! I'm late teens for Kerry after my aptitude test in Dublin in December. I was waiting to be called for an interview next but it seems you have already been called in round 2 for interview! Could they have just missed me by mistake?? Thanks

Hi Clairebear

Could it be that you're in a different Batch number to me? That's probably the only thing I can think of? I had the aptitude test in December and the Stage 3 interview in January. Kerry is horrifically slow, it seems.

I'm in the top 10 for batch 2 kerry. I havent been invited for an interview yet. You must be batch 1. I just called PAS there, theyve interviewed 26 people from batch 1 so far. Ive no idea how many people are in batch 1 either. Did you have kerry as your first choice? Or were you limerick-kerry or cork-kerry?

DJOC83

Hi. Applied for Kerry and Cork... Kerry is preferred choice. After aptitude test in Dublin in December I was given details of my results and called for an interview. This was in Dublin in January. After the interview I received my feedback and received a message to show I had jumped up to 13th on batch 2 for Cork. As of yet there's been no feedback on how the interview affected my placing on the Kerry application. I presume the one interview covered both regions? Does anyone know if that is or isn't the case?

After Stage 3 interview I'm early 20s in Batch 2 for Kerry and mid 40s in Batch 2.1 for Cork. That's what they said to me yesterday on the phone..... unless they've made a mistake ha!

Kerry was my first choice. I can't get over how slow the whole process is!

Hi DJOC83

I'm the same, after the interview in Dublin I was bumped up to mid 40s for Cork....but received no correspondence regarding Kerry since. I bit the bullet yesterday and phoned PAS, they couldn't have been more helpful! Give them a call if you're curious as to your position on the Kerry panel (although they did say to me yesterday that there may not be much movement on it for another month).

Clairebear12

Thanks for your reply. I'm batch 2 in Kerry in the late teens. I rang PAS this morning they said 26 have gone through from batch 1 so far for interview for Kerry and none from batch 2. They said was it for permanent position which I said it was. Hard to know what's happening when people have different stories. Guess we just have to wait and see.

No problem at all. I'm only happy to share it, we're all in the same boat and left in limbo wondering if we're going to get it or not. Mine is for a permanent role too so I hope I'll be considered for a position due to being in the early 20s... Hopefully there are enough jobs out there for us, fingers crossed! I'll keep you posted should I hear anything else from them

Cheers for the reply DM26, glad I'm not the only one worried about not getting an update re Kerry position following the interview. I'll give PAS a call to see where I am now and see if the interview had any bearing on the positioning. This board has been a great source of info to be fair.. I'll be keeping an eye on it for a while yet I reckon...

Westmeath has almost finished Batch 1:1 (10). Hopefully it won't take too long to move on.
Offaly has only placed 1 up to yesterday.

Any word since on your side? Not heard a thing from them myself. It's so frustratingly slow.

Your training might be different if you’re in the other building, but I think we finished at 4 on Monday (10am start) Finished at 3pm on Tues (trainer got slides etc. finished early so she let us go) today was flexi-time so you could start anytime between 8 and 10 and finish between 4 and 6 then we have training tomorrow and fri 09.30-5.30 both days. The days you don’t have training you can do flexi

Hey SB1982,
Thanks for the reply.
Don't be scared, you will do fine. Once you follow the training you will be grand.. The people in you department will be very helpful aswell..

Debt management is straight forward aswell.

Congratulations again n the start either way..

The panel lasts for 2 years. More posts will likely come available all the time

No, as someone said there, the panel lasts for 2 years. I'd say only 9 people were placed already,and some of them were probably also on the Limerick or Cork panels, and accepted a place on them. I think everywhere has been slow apart from the Counties with Cities
